Hello 1983

"Grace, is that you? Why are you here?" Liu Qingshan's voice sounded familiar, and there were not many people who called him boss.

"Hee hee, I'm your assistant, boss, of course I'll be where you are?" Grace joked with a smile.

Liu Qingshan seemed to remember it. He heard from his second sister that Grace seemed to be from this country. Then she went to study in the United States, shared an apartment with Liu Yinfeng, and then became a good girlfriend.

It is estimated that he came back to visit relatives, and then he did not know how he heard the news that Liu Qingshan came here, so he called him, so he smiled and said:

"Okay, I don't have an assistant around me, and I don't have a bag to carry, I feel really uncomfortable."

"Then boss, you have to pay the wages." Grace was indeed the same little money addict.

Liu Qingshan inquired about the location of the other party, and then asked Boban to greet everyone and go to the restaurant for dinner together.

Considering that Writer Lu and his party are exhausted, the reception dinner at the embassy is scheduled for tomorrow.

In the past few days, various invitations and entertainment must be indispensable.

A group of people came to the restaurant, the scale is really not small, it should be able to accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time.

There are cafeterias, à la carte restaurants, and even a casual snack bar.

Winners, of course, can enjoy ordering meals, but those who come from China seldom eat western food, so leader Geng called everyone to discuss, or to eat buffet western food.

Liu Qingshan told Boban to take care of him here, and then went to find the restaurant room agreed with Grace.

Knocking on the door and entering, Liu Qingshan couldn't help being taken aback, two little boys came running towards him, and greeted him politely.

Looking at these two little princes, Liu Qingshan was also a little dazed: Did he go to the wrong room?

"The boss is here."

Grace walked over, and only then dispelled Liu Qingshan's doubts.

Seeing Concubine Dai standing up from her seat, Liu Qingshan also bowed to pay tribute: "It's really unexpected that we meet so soon."

Concubine Dai nodded with a smile: "Mr. Mountain, I didn't expect that you are still Grace's boss, and you will have to deduct her wages at that time, driving this little money addict crazy."

"Whether this is the imperial concubine's oral order, of course I will carry it out."

Liu Qingshan glared at Grace angrily, this girl was obviously hiding something.

To be good friends with Concubine Dai is definitely not an ordinary person.

Inside the room, there were several guests, all of whom were ladies. Concubine Diana introduced them one by one. Good guy, they are all princesses from various countries in Europe, including the Spanish royal family and the English royal family...

There are adults, and there are little cute babies of a few years old.

Maybe it's because of her superior genetics, her looks are not bad, and even the little doll is so cute.

But don't look at their smallness, but there are two of them, both of whom are the second or third heirs of the royal family.

Liu Qingshan finally looked at Grace, and whispered: "Then you are also the princess of this country?"

Those who can mix with a large group of princes and princesses are of course at the same level.

"No, I'm your assistant, Boss." Grace looked at Liu Qingshan with a smile, and everyone else had similar expressions.

Liu Qingshan spread his hands: "I can't afford to hire a princess as an assistant, well, I announce now that you have been fired."

The room was filled with joyous laughter. There was a seven or eight-year-old little princess who showed her broken teeth.

Liu Qingshan watched her pointing to her mouth, the little guy immediately covered his mouth with his chubby little hand, reminding Liu Qingshan of when he was the fourth child.

Because there was an outsider like Liu Qingshan, when he first came in, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

However, Liu Qingshan's humor quickly made the atmosphere in the restaurant relaxed and cheerful again.

Grace invited Liu Qingshan to sit down, and Liu Qingshan asked about the situation with the second sister.

Concubine Di winked at the big and small princesses: "Let me just say, Mr. Mountain is a very interesting person, and he is very talented."

At this time, Little William approached Liu Qingshan, and asked like a grown-up: "Mr. Mountain, why didn't the young lady who gave us the gift last time come?"

"They all go to school, and they will definitely come when they are on vacation." Liu Qingshan didn't expect that the little guy was still thinking about the fourth and fifth.

"What gift?" The little princess who had lost her teeth just now also came up.

Little William proudly pulled out a jade-carved Chinese zodiac from under his neck, and began to show off.

This is bad, that little princess with gaping teeth stared at Liu Qingshan with big watery eyes, acting like you were unfair.

Liu Qingshan really didn't bring any gift with him, just a piece of red mountain jade hanging around his neck, but there are several little princes and princesses in the room, it's not enough at all.

As for Concubine Dai and the others, they all looked at it with a smile on their face, making Liu Qingshan almost sweat: you don't care about your younger brothers and sisters?

How did he know that these royal families are usually bound by etiquette and rarely relax so much, so they all find it very interesting.

Liu Qingshan judged the situation, and roughly guessed the intentions of these people, but Liu Qingshan really liked children, so he was not annoyed at all, but slapped his hands cheerfully:

"Then I will give everyone the best present, come, sing nursery rhymes with me."

So Liu Qingshan clapped his hands and beat the rhythm, and sang the English version of counting ducks:

Under the bridge in front of the gate, a flock of ducks swim by, come and count them, two four six seven eight...

Needless to say, the kids just like this, clapping their hands and singing along.

The little princess with missing teeth doesn't care if she shows her missing teeth.

Especially when they sang the last line, don't try to be a duck egg and take it home, and they all imitated Liu Qingshan and drew a circle with both hands.

The cheerful atmosphere soon permeated the entire restaurant. Those who were watching the excitement also joined in and clapped their hands together.

It was originally a spectator, but now it has become a participant.

Grace also had a smile on her face, and whispered to her companion:

"How about it? My boss is very powerful. He is young, handsome, and full of love. He can compose songs and write novels. The most important thing is that he is young and rich. Are you tempted? Ask Mr. Mountain to take you home ?”

"I think you are tempted by yourself?" Someone teased Grace.

In fact, when the princesses get together, they are not much different from ordinary girls.

"Hmph, don't even think about it, my boss already has a fiancée." Grace was obviously teasing everyone, and naturally received unanimous condemnation.

Everyone was fighting, suddenly a follower came in and said to Liu Qingshan in a low voice:

"Mr. Mountain, your partner seems to have encountered some trouble in the restaurant. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Chapter 914 Are you scared?

In the cafeteria, seeing the dazzling array of food, Leader Geng and the others couldn't help swallowing secretly.

Although the living standard has improved in the past two years, it has not reached the level where there is meat to eat every meal.

Just like the most common bread, it is not always available in China.

Writer Lu and Gao Wenxue are better. After all, they have lived in England for a while and are no strangers to Western food.

Boban also did his duty, introducing these foods and how to match them.

Seeing that everyone's dinner plates were piled up like a hill, Boban reminded Leader Geng in a low voice: they can add more to the buffet at any time, and it would be impolite to leave too much.

"It's okay, I can eat it." Leader Geng replied, this is not enough, mainly because the dinner plate is a bit too small.

After choosing the food, everyone sat down at the table and began to eat.

Before they came out, they had been trained, and everyone understood the basic dining etiquette, so there were no jokes about picking up the wrong knife and fork.

It was the dining peak in the evening, so there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant. Professor Merton also came to the restaurant with the two award winners.

They were going to order food in a separate small restaurant, but Merton found Writer Lu and his party, and immediately became angry.

The one who was squeezed out by Liu Qingshan just now couldn't come to the stage. Faced with so many media, Merton had no choice but to bite the bullet and promised to donate the prize money to charity.

He has written books over the years and said that, together with the income from investing in the stock market, he has only accumulated more than 500 million US dollars. He donated all the bonuses at once, and he can't help but feel a little distressed.

And all of this was thanks to Liu Qingshan, so narrow-minded like Merton, of course he couldn't swallow this breath.

Seeing the mountain of meals on the dining table, Merton sneered twice: "Look, it's like a group of refugees. It's really embarrassing to us awardees."

A professor named William, who was also an award winner, saw his companion being so rude, so he gently pulled Merton to signal him not to cause trouble.

Merton came here just to find trouble, so he continued to sarcastically: "It seems that your country is really poor. You came here to improve your life, right?"

Hearing this foreigner's nagging, it must not be a good thing, so Writer Lu asked the translator.

After the translator relayed it, everyone couldn't help being angry: We have a big appetite and a good appetite, what does it have to do with you?

"I ate well, but a fly came and affected my appetite." Leader Geng was very dissatisfied, and he didn't say anything nice.

Writer Lu put down the tableware: "Mr. Merton, is it your self-cultivation and demeanor to disturb others' meals?"

Companion William bowed to apologize, and then dragged Merton to leave, but Merton refused to move:

"Isn't what I stated the truth? It's embarrassing for a group of country bumpkins who have never seen the world to come out of a backward country, isn't it?"

Now Writer Lu and the others were completely annoyed, and Leader Geng, ignoring any international influence, started arguing with each other and quarreled with each other.

Although he is a bit bureaucratic, but in a foreign country, he does not allow people to insult his motherland.

At this time, all considerations such as taking the overall situation into consideration and paying attention to the impact are all ignored.

There was a quarrel in the restaurant, and both parties were winners, which immediately attracted people's attention.

There were also quite a few reporters who were dining here. Seeing this, they quickly came up to join in the fun. If the winners fight, it will definitely be big news.

The language barrier between the two sides, and the quarrel has to go through a translator, which feels a bit awkward.

At this time, Liu Qingshan hurried over, and when he saw Professor Merton, he knew it was the old guy who was looking for trouble.

Since you are old and disrespectful, you don't have to get used to it, Liu Qingshan immediately replaced the angry Leader Geng and Writer Lu and the others:

"It turned out to be Professor Merton. What do you know, Mr. Professor?"

Finally seeing the real owner, Professor Merton became even more enthusiastic, pointing to the hill-like food on the table: "Everyone, please see, it is shameful to waste food."

"We haven't finished eating, how can we waste it, I promise to eat clean."

After Leader Geng finished speaking, he stuffed a large piece of bread into his mouth and chewed angrily.

"Haha, it's delicious. In your country, haven't you eaten it?"

Professor Merton laughed out loud. This guy is a typical representative of the kind who wears tinted glasses.

Such people are not rare in the Western world.

So some people really followed suit and laughed together.

This laughter, to the ears of Liu Qingshan and others, was so piercing.

Liu Qingshan shook his head. In the eyes of many developed countries, the current China is synonymous with poverty and backwardness.

That's why they have a sense of superiority, but this does not mean that you can trample on the dignity of others at will.

The so-called civilized people in the West are actually not very civilized. Behind their civilized masks, there are many ugly faces hidden.

Liu Qingshan looked around for a week, knowing that at this time, he was determined not to give in, not only for themselves, but also for the country they represented behind them.

Once a person leaves the motherland, what you do represents your motherland.

With his force, he can kick an old guy like Merton away with just one light kick, but he can't do that.

If this kick continues, he will become the target of foreign media criticism.

The more this kind of moment, Liu Qingshan became calmer. He raised his hand to stop the angry Writer Lu and Gao Wenxue, and then stared at Merton coldly:

"Sir, everyone is a civilized person, so there is no need to quarrel. I have a proposal here. I wonder if Mr. Professor is interested?"

Of course, Merton will not back down. Originally, his intention was to anger these Chinese people. It is best to create a big conflict, and then use the media to discredit each other.

But now it seems that this plan is a bit unworkable. The young man in front of him is too calm to give him such a chance.

So Merton nodded: "You might as well talk and listen."

"Since Professor Merton is an expert in investment, let's make a bet. We all take out a sum of money and choose stocks to invest in. We will see the result after a year. Whoever makes more profits is the winner. The winner is natural. Take it all."

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qingshan's mouth. Compared with the other party, he behaved more like a gentleman.

Since this Professor Merton has the deepest research on investment and stocks and has won awards for it, the best way to beat him is to defeat him in his field of expertise.

Writer Lu and Gao Wenxue, who were familiar with Liu Qingshan, also quickly became calm.

Anyway, in their memory, Liu Qingshan seems to have never lost a bet with others.

"Haha, young man, you are very courageous, but compared with an investment expert, don't you seem a little overwhelmed?"
